NEW YORK – October 17, 2017 – Investis, a leading digital communications company, today announced the acquisition of Phoenix-based digital marketing agency ZOG Digital. The move expands the ability of Investis to provide integrated corporate communications solutions to the world’s most successful companies.

The acquisition will further enhance the corporate communications services provided by Investis, including strategic delivery of targeted content to key stakeholders, enhancing brand visibility, and driving customer engagement and acquisition.

Investis, headquartered in London, has more than 500 employees globally. With the ZOG Digital acquisition, the company’s US presence will grow to over 100 employees, split between Phoenix and the company’s US headquarters in New York City.

"Digital is at the heart of everything we do," said Investis CEO Don Scales. “With this acquisition, we define end-to-end content strategy, drive new visibility and amplify influence and engagement across all channels and platforms. Our roots in the investor relations space give us a unique perspective on creating the next-generation digital communications company. ZOG Digital’s capabilities, in particular, will benefit our corporate clients globally."

Scales and ZOG Digital founder/CEO Jeff Herzog are no strangers. Herzog previously founded and was CEO of global digital marketing company iCrossing. Scales joined as president and later took over as CEO. The company grew to become the largest independent digital marketing company in the US before it was acquired by Hearst Magazines in 2010.

“Don’s track record as a top operator and global executive in the digital industry gives new velocity to the vision, client success and company culture we have built at ZOG,” said Herzog. “Together the companies will help corporate communicators establish new trusted and valuable relationships between brands and audiences. The ability to deliver connected content will open up new markets in the US and throughout Europe.”

Herzog will join Investis as an advisor and resident futurist, helping identify growth opportunities for the company.
